The Department of Psychology is looking to enhance our graduate-level clinical, school, masters, and experimental psychology programs as well as our on-campus Psychological Services Center. Your support will make a significant impact on the education and training of future psychologists by fostering research, improving access to resources, and addressing critical mental health needs within our community.
Clinical Psychology Program (Leslie Robinson, Director). Clinical psychology graduate training equips students with the expertise to conduct psychological research, evaluate behavioral outcomes, and provide evidence-based mental health care and support to individuals and communities.
Experimental Psychology Program (Helen Sable, Director). Experimental psychology graduate training equips students with advanced training in research and analytical skills, preparing them to educate and mentor the next generation of psychology students and contribute to cutting-edge research and innovation in behavior and cognition.
School Psychology Program (Beth Meisinger, Director). School psychology graduate training empowers students with the knowledge and skills to provide essential mental health support, educational guidance, and psychological services in schools. This training positively impacts students by fostering their emotional well-being and academic success.
Master of Science in General Psychology Program (Gina Caucci, Director). The MSGP program is a 2-year research-intensive program culminating in a master’s thesis. It is designed for students who want experience and training in many areas of psychology (i.e., clinical, cognitive, BN, school) to enter the workforce at the masters level or pursue a PhD.
Psychological Services Center (Ryan Farmer, Director). The Psychological Services Center serves as a vital training ground for health service psychology students, allowing them to gain hands-on experience in delivering high-quality mental health services. This provides valuable practical training for students and offers the local community accessible, affordable, and evidence-based mental health services.
The Psychology Department serves as a vital hub for education, research, and mental health support. By contributing to this campaign, you are directly shaping the future of psychology and our department’s ability to meet the ever-growing demand for mental health services in our community. Funds raised through this campaign will be allocated to various initiatives within our psychology department, including:
Student Supports: Through your generosity, we can assist them in attending conferences, workshops, and networking events.
Educational and Research Enhancements: Your contributions will empower us to purchase training materials, invite experts, and fund research.
Community Outreach: Your support will allow us to organize community events, workshops, and seminars that raise awareness about mental health issues and provide essential mental health services to our community.
Technology and Infrastructure Enhancement: We aim to upgrade our technological resources and infrastructure to better facilitate research, teaching, and clinical services within the department.
Expanding Outreach Initiatives: Funds may also be utilized to expand outreach initiatives for the department enabling students to reach underserved populations.
Our students are traveling to conferences to network, showcase their research, and learn about the latest developments in their fields. This donation level would cover conference registration fees and/or travel help for one of our gifted students.
This could cover speaking fees to bring in an expert to share their knowledge with our students.
This could support technology updates for our students, fund research, or help with travel!
